Question about "etre excite" A french teacher recently said that "etre excite" (sorry, no accents on this computer) means that you are sexually excited, and that to be just plain excited is "etre impatient". I was just watching an english movie with french subtitles, and when the character said "you could see that he was excited" it was translated to "on voyait qu'il etait excite". Did whoever was doing the translating make a big faux-pas there?

Est-ce qu'on peut dire "Je suis allé en Amérique étudier l'anglais"? Je pensais qu'on doit utiliser "pour" ou "afin de" avant d'"étudier", mes c'était une réponse correcte sur un examen que j'ai pris aujourd'hui. Je vous remercie en avance!

aimer + adjective + noun? I was marked wrong on a test for translating "J'aime les nouveaus manteaux" as "I like new coats". It was, "I like THE new coats". I suspect that 'I like new coats (in general)' is "J'aime de nouveaux manteaux" but I can't find confirmation anywhere, or what the rule is. Would appreciate some help. Thanks!
